Sponsorship

Elevate the Central Minnesota Advertising Community by Supporting AAF Central Minnesota

We work tirelessly to support the AAF Central Minnesota advertising industry and community comprised of professionals who own, operate, or are employed at agencies, graphic design firms, interactive agencies, print, broadcast, electronic media, outdoor advertising, printers, video, in-house marketing departments, and educational institutes. And, we do it thanks to your help.

We rely largely on monetary and in-kind sponsorships to bring communication, events, and celebrations to our members, students, and industry each year. We’re proud of the partnerships we have, and value the support to no end.

AAF Central Minnesota offers you the opportunity to:

  • Promote your company and build brand awareness
  • Showcase your product or service to top designers, creative directors, printers, photographers, instructors, writers, clients, advertisers, and more
  • Target the advertisers and the media – two notoriously difficult audiences to reach
  • Get to know your clients and future clients better
  • Network with your peers – keep your friends close, your enemies closer, and your competition closest!
  • Be exposed to training, presentations, strategies, and learning opportunities right where you work, live, and play
